Israel: Romney voice, Netanyahu's words

In Jerusalem speech, it was Romney's voice but Netanyahu's words

Netanyahu embraces Romney as no Israeli prime
minister has ever before embraced a candidate running against an
incumbent U.S. president.

Romney's staff picked the 150 guests carefully. Religious American
immigrants dominated the crowd; secular Jews and native-born Israelis
were few and far between. Those present included Jewish-American
millionaires, settler leaders like the former chairman of the Yesha
Council of settlements Israel Harel, and former Netanyahu aides such as
Dore Gold, Naftali Bennett, Ayelet Shaked and Yoaz Hendel.
